Bitcoin slipped to about $62,900 after renewed military conflict between Iran and Israel rattled global markets and sent Asian stocks sharply lower.

Oil prices jumped more than 3% and Asian equity indexes tumbled, even as President Trump urged Israel not to retaliate further against Iran.

Rising oil and Treasury yields, recent outflows from spot bitcoin ETFs and broader risk-off sentiment have already driven bitcoin down about 14% with volatility likely to stay elevated amid U.S. inflation data and major IPOs.
